Brian Topp Posted December 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2013 CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) -- A woman is in the hospital after an accident inside an abandoned winery in Clovis early Monday morning. Authorities went to the building on Clovis Avenue near Ashlan around 1 a.m. Monday. They said several people were inside, when one of them fell about 30 feet from a walkway. It's unclear what they were doing, but family members say the group was ghost hunting.

ShadowSot Posted December 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Shows where my mind is, I read clovis and was thinking of the prehistoric culture. I was thinking we finally had a reported ghost of a primitive human. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted December 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It's hard not to make a joke out of this, but too obvious and in bad taste so I won't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euryleia Posted December 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2013 People 'ghost haunt' and expect to get away easily and even if there is anything, whoever they're haunting has all the right to give them a little lesson. Curiosity killed the cat. It's also funny how some attention seekers would do anything to attract the media to get famous even if they have to cut a leg or two. Her name will be released sooner or later and then think about all them people who would wanna know what exactly happened. Let's just hope that was a natural accident and that there were no greedy and selfish intentions behind the incident. We have enough attention seeking scammers in this world already.

DancingCorpse Posted December 18, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I sometimes explore dodgy abandoned sites but I stick to the edges, the state of the infrastructure is more terrifying than what may lurk there, I remember what happened to one of the characters in Stephen King's Salem's Lot getting impaled on some spikes at the end of a broken staircase! That was creepier than the vampires! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Merton Posted December 19, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I wonder why it is that British ghosts are so much more sensible than American ghosts. After all the British haunt castles, the Americans haunt old shacks and falling-down buildings and prisons and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaturtlehorsesnake Posted December 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 19, 2013 well, america is pretty short on castles as it is. if all the ghost started haunting them, there wouldn't be enough room for them to scare anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but America has lots of mansions around; not so old maybe but still getting pretty long in the tooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaturtlehorsesnake Posted December 19, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 19, 2013 ah, that's true. american ghosts also like to haunt schools, if i remember my childhood right. when i was in high school, everyone i knew was so certain that the building was haunted by a bunch of ghosts from various different violent incidents. it was ghost central! unless you asked my father, who had lived in that area for over fifty years. he always would bring up the inconvenient little fact that none of the murders and suicides that the ghosts came from had actually, you know, happened. funny, that.

Even in the city I live in there are haunted roads (White Woman ghost on the aptly named White Woman Lane), haunted shops, theatres, alley ways, bridges, houses... Mind you the city is over 1000 years old so I'm surprised I don't bump into spooky things every day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
